Feature Description

Simply, a configuration option to change the size of the virtual disk, similar to the options for the number of virtual cores and RAM.

Use-Case

It's easy to underestimate how much virtual disk space is needed. Currently, the only upfront means to change the virtual disk size is to completely reinitialize WinBoat.

I would guess that there's some way to locate the container's image and change it, but trying to search for answers on how to do this only turned up answers for changing the default docker uses when creating the container, and otherwise scattered and arguably incoherent answers for an existing image.

As it stands, I don't know how to change the virtual disk size without going through the entire process again. This takes a substantial amount of time, estimated around 20 minutes. And again, given how easy it is to underestimate how much space might be needed, I think that it's likely that this is a common annoyance.

Proposed Implementation

As mentioned, virtual CPU cores and RAM are already options. Nestling a similar option for virtual disk space should be trivial on the UI end.

As for actually changing the virtual disk size, I can't suggest what I don't know how to do in the first place.

I'm using this space to ask for a temporary workaround to the problem point if known. Also, while I did try to find issues mentioning this topic, due to the various ways to refer to the same thing (virtual disk/image/container, size/space), it's possible that I missed it. GitHub's search is only so capable.
